Change of Date – Sports Day
In order to give parents as much notice as possible, due to the prediction of heavy rain on Wednesday, (22nd May) we have decided to delay Sports Day. This will now take place on Friday 24th May when the weather should be drier. Any further updates will be sent out via the School App as soon as possible.
This will also change the theme of the Wednesday’s walk to school to crazy hair and on Friday the theme will be sports attire.
We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Thank you
Walk to School Week
Just a reminder for today and Walk to School Week.
It’s wear sunglasses and/or sunhat today when walking to school.
Look out for a letter from P7S later today about our parking campaign.
Have a lovely walk and remember to add your walk to the total for the day!
P7 Residential
The Primary 7 children left this morning for their residential at Ford Castle in Northumberland. They have lots of great activities planned and will have a busy time.
For parents of children who are on the residential trip:
They have arrived safely and please look out for the email link sent out at approximately 8 p.m. daily with photos from the day.
Reminder Dress Down
On the 14th May we are celebrating diversity. The over arching theme is we all have strengths and talents so we need to be kind towards each other and respectful of our differences.
We will be having a dress down day on this date. Please remember that as with all dress down days no football strips should be worn. This includes local, team, national or international strips.
World of Work Week
This week sees many visitors to the school in connection with our World of Work week. We have a wide variety of professions represented. This includes many aspects of our health-related services e.g. Intensive Care Unit nursing, dietetics, dental nursing, paramedic service, physiotherapy, and other services like police, coastguard service, and RNLI volunteers. We will also have visits from RHET for farming, a farrier, a pilot, a joiner, a civil servant working with the OECD, someone from hotel management, a stage props creator, a beautician, a head of marketing, and a journalist.
Many thanks go to the fire service personnel, ambulance service personnel and joiner who came in at the end of last week as this week was so busy it was difficult to fit in all the volunteers. The children really enjoyed your input.
Thanks must go to the teaching staff who organised and pulled together this wide variety of people to ensure every class were timetabled for inputs throughout the week.
Church Service and Easter Thanks
The children, staff, parents and carers in attendance this morning enjoyed an excellent Easter Service in Galston Parish Church, conducted by Reverand Lacy. A well-deserved “Thank You” goes to Reverand Lacy for conducting the service. Helping him were Penny, Struan, and Harry who told the Easter Story and Myka who recited the Jellybean poem. A huge thank you to them and to all of the children who sang in their classes.
Thanks, must also go to Jim Hewitson, our crossing patroller, for the donation of creme eggs for pupils. It was very much appreciated by all.
A huge thanks to everyone who brought in tissues and wet wipes as part of our dress down day yesterday. It was an excellent turnout, and everyone appeared to have enjoyed the day.
From all of us here at Galston Primary we hope you have a safe and happy Easter break. We look forward to seeing the children back to school on Monday 15th April.
